Enfnts Terribles

Hi Yungblud, you’re in our opinion a perfect fit with our magazine because an ‘enfant terrible’ is someone who’s moving things by being himself. Do you consider yourself an ‘enfant terrible’?

Yeah, absolutely man! Why fit in when you’re born to stand out…

You’re very loud and aren’t afraid to make political and gender-related statements. Is that important for you since you have a very young following?

Definitely! I can only write what’s a representation of our generation or about what I know. When people ask me why I am so political, I always tell them it’s because we don’t really have a choice. If you’d ask a young person five years ago about if they’re into politics, they would probably say that they aren’t. I think we realized that we have the power to change in terms that if we actually give a fuck and want to be informed about what’s going on. Now, it’s cool to challenge people because we feel we can, and because we have faith in ourself. Division is old-fashioned.

You also definitely inspire all the kids that are coming out on the street for climate…

I love them! I fucking love them! People asked me what’s the difference between our generation and the generation twenty years ago, we genuinely try to get informed and use social media to learn, grow and communicate globally. We’re very lucky, we can do that. We just understand that’s more than okay to give a fuck!

But do you feel any kind of pressure because so many kids are listening to what you say?

Someone just asked me a minute ago if I feel like I’m the voice of a generation. But no, I’m just one of the voices. At the end, Yungblud isn’t me and them, it’s being us. I’m just 50% of what Yungblud is, the rest is a movement and what you were just talking about. The reluctance to be conformed to what society wants to put you in while you just want to be yourself.
